EPILOGUE.
The novelty of the tides having worn off, the immense mud flats left by the outgoing water and the railroad ride from Wolfville to Yarmouth convinced me that I had followed good advice in selecting the south shore for my jaunt. Not that the Annapolis Valley is other than beautiful and well kept, it is both, and the Fundy tides are interesting, but to travel with day after day their muddied waters and wastes of yellow flats cannot be compared with the sparkle of the clean waters of the Atlantic and its rock-encrusted coast line, innumerable harbors and occasional beautiful stretches of wave-swept sand beach.

It is Commonly Rumored that death and Taxes are the only certainties placed before the inhabitants of this Vale of Tears. But after Mature reflection it has become the firm Conviction of this Traveler that the End of a pleasant Excursion is quite as certain as either, though not quite as sad. Be this as it May, as all Orthodox story books have it, there can be no Doubt in the Mind of any who has given due Heed unto the Matters herein set forth, that this particular trip has reached a Definite End.
